Dropdown being reset

[Philip]

For some reason my drop down is getting reset on my page load i popuplate the dropdown by trapping the post back.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           tblApertureNetShiftPattern _shifts = new tblApertureNetShiftPattern();
           string timeCode = "";

           string id = Request.QueryString["id"];

           Guid _guid = string.IsNullOrEmpty(id) ? new Guid() : new Guid(id);

           _shifts = _dal.GetShiftPatternById(_guid);

           if (Request.Browser.Browser == "Firefox")
               Form.Attributes.Add("autocomplete", "off");


           if (!IsPostBack)
           {
               var dlManagersSource = _dal.GetManagers();
               rdManagers.DataSource = dlManagersSource;
               rdManagers.DataValueField = "LookupValue";
               rdManagers.DataTextField = "LookupDescription";
               rdManagers.DataBind();

               // Then add your first item
               var ddlDaysOfWeek = _dal.GetDaysOfWeek().OrderBy(o => o.Order);
               rdDayOfWeek.DataSource = ddlDaysOfWeek;
               rdDayOfWeek.DataValueField = "LookupValue";
               rdDayOfWeek.DataTextField = "LookupDescription";
               rdDayOfWeek.DataBind();

               var ddlShiftPatterns = _dal.GetShiftPatternTypes();
               rdAppointmentType.DataSource = ddlShiftPatterns;
               rdAppointmentType.DataValueField = "LookupValue";
               rdAppointmentType.DataTextField = "LookupDescription";
               rdAppointmentType.DataBind();
           }

           txtDescription.Text = _shifts.Description;
               rdStartShift.SelectedDate = _shifts.startdate;
               rdShiftEnd.SelectedDate = _shifts.endDate;
               rdDayOfWeek.SelectedValue = _shifts.dayOfWeek.ToString();
               rdAppointmentType.SelectedValue = _shifts.appointmentType.ToString();
               rdManagers.SelectedValue = _shifts.manager_Id.ToString();


       }

 

/// <summary>
/// Gets the days of week.
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
public List<StandardLookup> GetDaysOfWeek()
{
    List<StandardLookup> lookups = new List<StandardLookup>();

    try
    {
        var q = from lookup in apertureNetEntities.tblApertureNetLookUps.Where(a => a.lookup_type == Constants.daysOfWeek).OrderByDescending(o => o.colOrder)
                orderby lookup.lookup_description
                select new
                {
                    LookLookupValue = lookup.lookup_Code,
                    LookupDescription = lookup.lookup_description.Trim(),
                    Order = lookup.colOrder
                };

        if (q != null)
        {
            Array.ForEach(q.ToArray(), l =>
            {
                lookups.Add(new StandardLookup(l.LookLookupValue, l.LookupDescription, l.Order));
            });
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)

    {
        string inner = string.Empty;
        if (ex.InnerException != null)
        {
            inner = ex.InnerException.ToString();
        }
        logger.Error("Error in GetDaysOfWeek function aperturenetdal " + ex.ToString() + " " + inner);
        return null;
    }

    return lookups;
}

Hello Phillip,

As stated in the other forum thread that you have submitted - I am afraid that the provided information is not sufficient, in order to determine the reason for the reset data of the DropDownList. I am afraid that the Data Source, the exact implementation of the control and other references to methods are missing.

This is why, I would suggest you to submit a support ticket, along with a runnable sample attached, where the problem resides.

Regards,
